Radon

“We need to be talking about radon as a radioactive substance rather than just a gas.” Anne-Marie Nicol, Principal Investigator at CAREX Canada, talks about the importance of having homes and workplaces tested for radon.

“It’s really an easy problem to fix, you just have to know that it needs to be done.” Alan Whitehead, President and CEO of Radon Environmental, talks about his wife Janet’s lung cancer, and how he suspects it was radon induced.

CAREX (CARcinogen Exposure) is a national evidence-based carcinogen surveillance program that estimates the number of Canadians exposed to substances associated with cancer, like radon, in workplace and community environments.
